ELECTION RESULTS: The newsroom of the Peninsula Daily News will have election results at www.peninsuladailynews.com all through the night -- from about 8:30 p.m., when the first results are available, until past midnight.

At least 59.5 percent of Jefferson County ballots will be tallied tonight while 41.4 percent of Clallam County ballots received before the weekend will be counted.

Counting Monday's returns, Clallam's election turnout is almost 50 percent on the eve of Election Day today.

Jefferson County received 1,835 ballots Monday for a total of 12,944, or 59.5 percent of ballots distributed, said Auditor Donna Eldridge.

All of those ballots as well as those received today will be counted in Jefferson County, she said.

"I think we will receive another 1,000 [today], so we are anticipating a 62.66 percent return rate on Election Day," Eldridge said.

"We are tracking exactly where I thought we'd be."

In Clallam County, ballots received through Friday will be tallied tonight -- a total of 18,903, or 41.4 percent, Auditor Patty Rosand said.

The 3,814 ballots received Monday brings total ballots received to 22,706, or 49.8 percent, Rosand said.

Those ballots received Monday and today will be counted as soon as everything is in order, she said, adding that she expects to update results each day.

"We must scan an entire day's ballots before we tabulate them to make sure we have balanced our ballots, signatures and envelopes," she said.

"We will do this each time we complete a day's ballots, instead of making you wait until Friday for the next update."

In the past, after Election Day, the next count had been on the following Friday.

Ultimately, Eldridge is predicting a voter turnout of about 80 percent for Jefferson County, and Rosand is expecting about 72 percent voter turnout in Clallam County.

Those totals exceed Secretary of State Sam Reed's prediction of 66 percent statewide.

Ballots must be placed in a drop box by 8 p.m. today or postmarked by today to be counted.
